Winemaker's Notes:

2004 marks the first vintage that Quinta do Noval is stressing the important point that all the fruit used in producing their LBV comes from the Quinta do Noval vineyard. After major re-planting efforts carried out in the mid-1990s, Noval's vineyard is producing fruit of extraordinary quality, making for unparalleled wines from their Ruby Reserve level wine, BLACK, up to their Vintage Port. The LBV Single Vineyard 2004 is yet another example of how Quinta do Noval is today making some of the most extraordinary ports in the world, with an approach unique to the top port houses in its extreme focus on site.

Quinta do Noval is situated in the very heart of the Douro valley, in the Cima Corgo, just two kilometres from the small town of Pinhão. As you approach the entrance to the quinta from Pinhão, you will see the famous broad terraces of Quinta do Noval on the right. The Quinta, which is principally situated in the valley of the small Pinhao river, a tributary of the Douro, has approximately 145 hectares of vines, ranging in altitude from 100 metres, at the level of the Pinhao river, to 350 metres at the summit of the valley. The Quinta is approached by a long drive, covered by trellised vines. This is the first view of the quinta that you see as you drive up. Read less
